Outdoor Research Alti Mitten - Men's
Well worth the price

They keep your hands warm, no matter what. I think that's all that needs to be said for these. They have a removable liner glove inside, which can be used as a stand-alone mit down to freezing temperatures (so be careful not to order up in size in order to fit liners in as it already has one). Something that hasn't been mentioned is that the fabric on it is extremely durable. I used these to rappel down successive portions of the mountain (about 300-400 meters total), and the palm leather on these did not wear one bit. I was very pleased all around.
